I guess I'm the lucky one

Everybody at my work seems to be really encouraging about the fact that I commute by bicycle, including the ones who obviously don't ride bikes(you can tell by their waistline). I often get comments suck as "great day to ride your bike" or something along those lines. I once had somebody, jokingly, ask me "how many miles a gallon do you get with that thing?.

I remember one time, I'm standing in the parking lot of my work, with my bike, checking to make sure I have everything in order, so I can hop on and ride home. My boss pulls up behind me wanting to get by, so wanting to be polite, I move over to leave him enough a space to get through. As he's passing he leans out the window and actually apologizes to for making me move out of his way. I told it it was "no problem" since it really wasn't that big of a deal,and I knew he needed to get through.

Maybe I'm just one of the lucky ones.
